HC Deb 17 April 1989 vol 151 c47W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what monitoring of charges for eye and dental examinations his Department is undertaking; and what are the initial results of such monitoring.

Mr. Mellor

There is no charge for NHS sight tests. We shall be monitoring the position in respect of private tests in the autumn. Concerning the dental examination, I refer the hon. Member to my reply of 6 March to the hon. Member for Wakefield (Mr. Hinchliffe) at column421.
